Clash of Champions was total garbage.


Out of 4 title matches, only one changed hands. What kind of booking is that? Owens just won the Universal title, so I was expecting him to retain. However New Day are stale as champs, Charlotte is stale as champ, why does creative insist on keeping the belts on them? Anderson and Gallows are supposed to be this monster tag team, book them like it. Sasha is supposed to be "The Boss" book her like it.

and if they booked Sasha like "the boss" and The Club like a monster you'd complain that they win too much.

"For what we are about to see next, we must enter quietly into the realm of genius."

reply

What would possibly give you that idea? If The Club supposed to be booked like monsters they should be winning. If Sasha is supposed to be "The Boss" she should be winnin

reply

She's "The Boss" in name only. The same way Bret was the "Best there ever will be."

Your post is dripping in sexism. Why would you call out Sasha and not The Club?

reply

Or he just wanted to comment on Sasha and had nothing to say about the Club. That's not sexist.

'I don't make deals with someone pointing a gun at me.'
'A principle?'
'A Habit.'

reply

There was nothing sexist about that, at all.

Do you call straight men sexist because they only have sex with women?

Well, the show's not called Titles Changing Hands.

You are sin.

I've always thought that "Clash of the Champions" sounded like champions should be fighting champions, like "Clash of the Titans" was Titans vs Titans. So what would make the most sense is that as long as the shows are two different brands, the each brand's respective champions should be facing each other. So if that was how the PPV was this weekend, here is how the the main matches of the card would have looked:

Rusev (U.S champion) vs the Miz (IC champion)

Tag team champions match:
New Day vs Heath Slater and Rhyno

Kevin Owens (Universal Champion) vs AJ Styles (WWE Champion)

I don't know if they would do anything with TJ Perkins (cruiserweight champion). Maybe put him against a Smackdown lowcarder. Anyway this kind of card would make sense with the concept that the brands are competing against each other.

Charlotte is the best female worker right now. She draws great heat and carries herself as a champion with that heel swag, plus her promos are good. Sasha just had the belt and while it's unfortunate she had to relinquish it due to a short-term injury, she's been a little overexposed lately (as much as I'm a fan of her, it seems like she's constantly in line for a title shot). Bayley is too new on the main roster, Nia Jax is working her way up, and Dana Brooke is way too green still. The Smackdown women's division has more diversity on that front.


Cena doesn't overcome any odds. He's a wrestler with a God Mode cheat on.

reply

Did you just use the "word" swag? Damn now I used it too!

reply

Swerve and swag, bro. All day.

There isn't really anybody from NXT to call up other than Asuka but she's still the champ, you know it's bad when they have Bayley facing a jobber...that whole episode of Raw was just bad aside from the cruiserweight matches

reply

And Charlotte isn't being overexposed? She's held the belt for months and months if you include the Diva's belt and we finally get the title off of her, only for her to get it back.

reply

Maybe it's better that when you least expect it, you should expect it.

I like Owens and I'm glad he is champion for the first time instead of guys who have been around for years and been champions before. And it is still a mystery why HHH helped him.

I also have to admit Charlotte is a great heel. Wow, she made her did, the revered Rik Flair cry. And beyond beating up her opponents she is mean to her own toady.

Yeah, the New Day had been champs for a very long day.. But I think their days are definitely nemberded.

I bet we all have WWE.com. With PPV every two weeks we are going to see a lot of titles changing hands.

LMFAO!

Like, ermagerd, their days are nemberded.

Just another day at the office for old Harry.

The matches on the show were very good. It was the finishes and in some cases the chosen winners that really brought the show down.

CoC was fricking amazing, all matches were good or great
